There are many great streamers out there, each with their own personalities and niches. And more and more, it's becoming a pastime in the gaming community to watch other gamers play the old and new games alike, games that many gamers love. But sometimes those streamers only play titles in certain niches, leaving audiences begging for more.
Luckily for those of us out there looking for some variety for our game-viewing pleasure, there are streamers on Twitch who like to explore games outside of the popular mainstays. Here are the Top 5 variety streamers that do just that.
